Whelan Lake Area

I camped here for weeks at a time as a kid. It's VERY quiet and VRRY secluded. Go with a decent vehicle, and possibly and chainsaw and extra gas. GREAT for spotting deer at night. You CAN fish, but GOOD LUCK! Don't get hurt out here, it's a long way to a hospital. DNR makes regular stops, so purchase tickets for the campsite, if they are still doing it. LOTS of campsites, usually have a decent fireplace, just be mindful of others.

Nice campsites that aren't right on top of each other. There is a small beach area for kids or dogs to play, also a good spot to launch a canoe or kayak. Fishing isn't great in the lake, very shallow and weedy.

Beautiful remote lake campground. Some sites more difficult to reach.

If you can find it, it's a pretty cool primitive campsite. Lots of open camp areas, many with lake views, and access. Google maps doesn't tell you accurate directions. You want to take the road wahlhalla north until you see the opening for 6661 is the road address. Take that straight for about 2 miles and you will see the one sign telling you that you arrived to a park. The camp sites only have fire pits. Everything else is up to you. Including trash. Unfortunately people leave their trash all over, and it's a shame. Because this is a free site which means people don't clean up after you like a mother would. So be respectful. Leave it cleaner than you got it.

Undeniably a great place to camp. As long as you like no nonsense primitive camping.
